| + | |||
| + | The following circuit shows a charging/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The values of the components shall be the following: | ||
| + | * $R_1 = 1.0 \rm k\Omega$ | ||
| + | * $R_2 = 2.0 \rm k\Omega$ | ||
| + | * $R_3 = 3.0 \rm k\Omega$ | ||
| + | * $C = 1 \rm \mu F$ | ||
| + | * $S_1$ and $S_2$ are opened in the beginning (open-circuit) | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{drawio> | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1. For the first tasks, the switch $S_1$ gets closed at $t=t_0 = 0s$. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1.1 What is the value of the time constant $\tau_1$? | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | The time constant $\tau$ is generally given as: $\tau= R\cdot C$. \\ | ||
| + | Now, we try to determine which $R$ and $C$ must be used here. \\ | ||
| + | To find this out, we have to look at the circuit when $S_1$ gets closed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{drawio> | ||
| + | |||
| + | We see that for the time constant, we need to use $R=R_1 + R_2$. | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | \tau_1 &= R\cdot C \\ | ||
| + | & | ||
| + | & | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1.2 What is the formula for the voltage $u_{R2}$ over the resistor $R_2$? Derive a general formula without using component values! | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | To get a general formula, we again look at the circuit, but this time with the voltage arrows. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{drawio> | ||
| + | |||
| + | We see, that: $U_1 = u_C + u_{R2}$ and there is only one current in the loop: $i = i_C = i_{R2}$\\ | ||
| + | The current is generally given with the exponential function: $i_c = {{U}\over{R}}\cdot e^{-t/ | ||
| + | Therefore, $u_{R2}$ can be written as: | ||
| + | |||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | u_{R2} &= R_2 \cdot i_{R2} \\ | ||
| + | & | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | u_{R2} = U_1 \cdot {{R_2}\over{R_1 + R_2}} \cdot e^{t/ \tau} | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | 2. At a distinct time $t_1$, the voltage $u_C$ is charged up to $4/5 \cdot U_1$. | ||
| + | At this point, the switch $S_1$ will be opened. \\ Calculate $t_1$! | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | We can derive $u_{C}$ based on the exponential function: $u_C(t) = U_1 \cdot (1-e^{-t/ | ||
| + | Therefore, we get $t_1$ by: | ||
| + | |||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | u_C = 4/5 \cdot U_1 & | ||
| + | 4/5 & | ||
| + | e^{-t/ | ||
| + | | ||
| + | t &= -\tau \cdot \rm ln (1/5) \\ | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | t & | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3. The switch $S_2$ will get closed at the moment $t_2 = 10 ~\rm ms$. The values of the voltage sources are now: $U_1 = 5.0 ~\rm V$ and $U_2 = 10 ~\rm V$. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3.1 What is the new time constant $\tau_2$? | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | Again, the time constant $\tau$ is given as: $\tau= R\cdot C$. \\ | ||
| + | Again, we try to determine which $R$ and $C$ must be used here. \\ | ||
| + | To find this out, we have to look at the circuit when $S_1$ is open and $S_2$ is closed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{drawio> | ||
| + | |||
| + | We see that for the time constant, we now need to use $R=R_3 + R_2$. | ||
| + | |||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | \tau_2 &= R\cdot C \\ | ||
| + | & | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | \tau_2 &= 5~\rm ms \\ | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3.2 Calculate the moment $t_3$ when $u_{R2}$ is smaller than $1/10 \cdot U_2$. | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | To calculate the moment $t_3$ when $u_{R2}$ is smaller than $1/10 \cdot U_2$, we first have to find out the value of $u_{R2}(t_2 = 10 ~\rm ms)$, when $S_2$ just got closed. \\ | ||
| + | * Starting from $t_2 = 10 ~\rm ms$, the voltage source $U_2$ charges up the capacitor $C$ further. | ||
| + | * Before at $t_1$, when $S_1$ got opened, the value of $u_c$ was: $u_c(t_1) = 4/5 \cdot U_1 = 4 ~\rm V$. | ||
| + | * This is also true for $t_2$, since between $t_1$ and $t_2$ the charge on $C$ does not change: $u_c(t_2) = 4 ~\rm V$. | ||
| + | * In the first moment after closing $S_2$ at $t_2$, the voltage drop on $R_3 + R_2$ is: $U_{R3+R2} = U_2 - u_c(t_2) = 6 ~\rm V$. | ||
| + | * So the voltage divider of $R_3 + R_2$ lead to $ \boldsymbol{u_{R2}(t_2 = 10 ~\rm ms)} = {{R_2}\over{R_3 + R2}} \cdot U_{R3+R2} = {{2 {~\rm k\Omega}}\over{3 {~\rm k\Omega} + 2 {~\rm k\Omega} }} \cdot 6 ~\rm V = \boldsymbol{2.4 ~\rm V} $ | ||
| + | |||
| + | We see that the voltage on $R_2$ has to decrease from $2.4 ~\rm V $ to $1/10 \cdot U_2 = 1 ~\rm V$. \\ | ||
| + | To calculate this, there are multiple ways. In the following, one shall be retraced: | ||
| + | * We know, that the current $i_C = i_{R2}$ subsides exponentially: | ||
| + | * So we can rearrange the task to focus on the change in current instead of the voltage. | ||
| + | * The exponential decay is true regardless of where it starts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So from ${{i_{R2}(t)}\over{I_{R2~ 0}}} = {\rm e}^{-t/ | ||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | {{i_{R2}(t_3)}\over{i_{R2}(t_2)}} & | ||
| + | -{{t_3 - t_2}\over{\tau_2}} | ||
| + | | ||
| + | | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | |||
| + | # | ||
| + | \begin{align*} | ||
| + | t_3 &= 14.4~\rm ms \\ | ||
| + | \end{align*} | ||

| + | In the simulation, you see the two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ (The two small resistors with $1 ~\rm µ\Omega$ have to be there for the simulation to run). At the beginning, $C_1$ is charged to $10~{\rm V}$ and $C_2$ to $0~{\rm V}$. With the switches $S_1$ and $S_2$ you can choose whether | ||
| + | |||
| + | - the capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ are shorted, or | ||
| + | - the capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ are connected via resistor $R$. | ||
